Business travelers trying to manage paper while on the road will find it
easy to scan and even upload documents to the cloud with the new Xerox®
Travel Scanner 150, a small, USB powered mobile scanner introduced
by Xerox (NYSE: XRX) today. The Travel Scanner 150 includes automatic
intelligent image correction, a sleek design and links to easily upload
scanned documents to the cloud, all for only $159.99.

“Business professionals want to manage information, not spend their day
scanning paper,” said John
Capurso, president and COO at Visioneer,
a Xerox licensing partner. “This mobile scanner enables our ‘road
warrior’ users to scan, organize and share any document they encounter,
from receipts, business cards, and notes to photos, office documents and
maps.”

What makes the Xerox Travel Scanner 150 different?

The integration of Visioneer
OneTouch® technology allows users to scan to any
“destination” by simply inserting the document into the scanner. This
eliminates the multiple steps usually required to save scanned documents
in popular file formats. Acuity
software enables the scanner to make perfect scans from imperfect
originals and - with the press of a button - the scanner can scan and
automatically upload documents to popular cloud repositories (in your
file format of choice including text-searchable PDF) via a set of free
links. The Travel Scanner 150 also includes patented AutoLaunch
technology so users can automatically start scanning documents as soon
as they are inserted into the scanner.

Powerful yet Easy-to-Use

The Xerox Travel Scanner 150 measures only 2” x 1.5” x 12.4”, weighs
10.6 ounces -- less than a can of diet soda. The Xerox Travel Scanner
can scan and convert documents into searchable Adobe Portable Document
Format (PDF) files that are easily organized, shared and protected. It
is designed to automatically save, at the user’s option, any scanned
item into a text-searchable PDF file, while at the same time maintaining
the appearance of the original document.

Pricing and Availability

The Xerox Travel Scanner 150 is priced at $159.99, and is available
immediately through online channel partners, VARs and major resellers.

Visioneer provides a broad range of scanning solutions for the desktop,
distributed and departmental document imaging markets as well as the
mobile and remote business scanning segments. In 2003, Visioneer
combined its leading scanner technology with the Xerox brand recognition
to develop the Xerox DocuMate product line. For additional information

Business professionals no longer wonder if they'll migrate to the cloud; it's now a matter of when. The cloud environment has proved to be a major force in transitioning to an agile business model that enables quick decisions and fast implementation that solidify customer relationships. And when the cloud is combined with the power of cognitive computing, it drives innovation and transformation that achieves astounding competitive advantage.

When building large, cloud-based applications that operate at a high scale, it's important to maintain a high availability and resilience to failures. In order to do that, you must be tolerant of failures, even in light of failures in other areas of your application. "Fly two mistakes high" is an old adage in the radio control airplane hobby. It means, fly high enough so that if you make a mistake, you can continue flying with room to still make mistakes.
In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Lee Atchison, Principal Cloud Architect and Advocate at New Relic, discussed how this same philosophy can be applied to highly scaled applications, and can dramatically increase your resilience to failure.

Machine learning has taken residence at our cities' cores and now we can finally have "smart cities." Cities are a collection of buildings made to provide the structure and safety necessary for people to function, create and survive. Buildings are a pool of ever-changing performance data from large automated systems such as heating and cooling to the people that live and work within them. Through machine learning, buildings can optimize performance, reduce costs, and improve occupant comfort by sharing information within the building and with outside city infrastructure via real time shared cloud capabilities.

With 10 simultaneous tracks, keynotes, general sessions and targeted breakout classes, @CloudEXPO and DXWorldEXPO are two of the most important technology events of the year. Since its launch over eight years ago, @CloudEXPO and DXWorldEXPO have presented a rock star faculty as well as showcased hundreds of sponsors and exhibitors!
